State schools following county’s lead

Members of Allegany County’s disabled community protest outside Fort Hill High School Monday, where state Comptroller Peter Franchot visited the school’s financial literacy class. The protesters were hoping to ask the comptroller to spare the disabled community from further state budget cuts, which are expected to be made on Wednesday. The group had to leave the school before Franchot’s arrival, which was delayed by a traffic accident on Interstate 70. Franchot talks with students in teacher Mary Eshelman’s classroom.
